I,.tes, Decoration Novelty.

While III New York u few days since l took
the opportunity to visit some of tho leading
decorative artists, just to learn what is the
prettiest and newest thing out for the fur
nishing Of rooms. AT the Office of The Art
Age l saw a whole room lined with what is
called Russian crash OF burlap. 1t can be
had III New York, sixty-eight inches wide,
for fifty cents Il yard. 1t is Of n light pearl
color, closely woven, and makes an admirable
background for any style or color OF decora-
tions. The room l saw was lined with this
crash. "a narrow fold Of the same being put
over the seams or where the edges joined. a
frieze Of the same ran around the top Of the
room. This had been hand painted i'll oils,
and was fastened to the wall ut its lower edge
with large headed brass tacks.
The effect of the whole was very rich and
fine. Such a tint and material makes a good
natural background for pictures, especially
cngravirgs, to hang against. Brown linen,
such as busters are made of, is now being
much used to decorate rooms with. Flowers
or n conventional design can be painted upon
this cloth in fresco colors such as scene paint.
crs use. Any one can mix these colors, and
with a little practice will soon be able to
paint charming designs. A hall bedroom
would be a good room to begin upon. Call
ing upon IL celebrated physician in New York
l found his library, above the bookcases,
lined with deep red straw mating, tackled OH
with brass tacks. The effect was all that
could he desired. Wall papers have had their
day, unless they IRE very fine and artistic.
No modern house Of any pretensions now
toleratcs wall paper. A room may be very
cheaply and beautifully decorated with stutfs
of all kinds il only one will give the subject a
little thought and so at it.-Fuller Walker in

The Secret of the v-shaped Back.

When a woman begins to show her age the
first part to lose its firm, youthful contour is
the face and chin, then the neck and bust,
and no amount Of alum water washes nor.
"astringent pomades" will restore firmness to
the fabby muscles, and it then becomes nee
essary to look about for some other beauty
that nature spared a little longer, and the up
per part of the arms and the back keep their
whitcness and delicacy long after the rest of
the woman is passe. For that reason was the
V-shaped back invented, and therefore were
sleeveless waists made which leave the arm e1-
posed up above the shoulder. Long gloves
hide many a wrinkled hand and withcred
forearm, and the modestly high front of the
waist wells the faded bust, whilc the black
velve ribbon tied tightly around the throat
retains the loose flesh in its snug embrace,
while it whitens the rest of tho neck by con-
trast, and it also sustains the baggy double
chin, together with the "wrinkle annihilator,n
which is made Of alum and parafiine and a
little sweet almond oil.-Newport Cor. Ro-
chester Union.

guires as much shead work. to Keep mouse
successfully as to build a house successfully;
and yet we mothers send our daughters out
into the business of life with no practical
training whatever, and expect them to make
and keep their homes i'll a way that shall ill.,
sure the largest amount of happiness to them
selves and families! 1t is too much to ask q
girl with no experience to enter his profess
sion OF housekeeping and make a success Of it.
How often we hear mother say: 81 shall
not put my daughter into the hard work;
she will come into 1t fast enough when she
has a home Of her own." That daughter
looks upon housekeeping from her mothers
s%tandpoint-as a disagreeable duty to be
shirked as long as possible. When she mar
ries she makes n copy of her mothers "cook
book" and starts out on the journey of life
with no thought of delays and accidents by
the way-for has she not her "cook book! 3"
Nine times out OF ten she comes home Mt the
end of a year, tired of the whole affair, the
freshness of her young ambition gone, her
mind tired with constant WORKINGS over
small things, and her physical strength ex-
hausted by the many new demand upon it.
Gould not that mother have saved her daugh-
ter many hours of u%nhappiness and discom-
fort by a iudicious course Of training and in
struction!
The housekeeper is the captain Of II great
ship, and she needs to understand it i'll every
part to guide it successfully into the port of
happiness. Housekeeping. rightly conducted
and thoroughly understood, is a pleasure and
a comfort to a Women dislike it
because they do not understand it. They do
not look into it and see the poetry in all its
little homely details. They are utterly un-
happy if anything befalls the trusty servant
and they are obliged for a few days to do
their own work, and they are tho very women
who make most complaint Of the scarcity md
general incompetence of the average "hircd
girl This is the whole secret of the 'ser-
want girl' uuestion.-Good Housekeeping.

Internal Revenue "Mixea Drinks"

When whisky, rum, gin, or any of the
stuff known as "hard liquors. are now re-
ceived they are all mixed together and poured
into barrels. This destroys the distinctive
quality Of each and makes a compound that
the hardest drinker would turn from in dis
gust, and whose smell alone would make q
sober man see snakes. When about ten bar
rels of this has accumulated the collector Of
internal revenue is notified, and he sends one
of his officers to gauge the liquor and certify
to the proof and amount. The officer also
sees personally to its delivery to the distillery
where it has been sold. For after the stuff
has been made unfit for its original purpose,
it may lie made salable again in the form of
alcohol by being distilled. The purchaser
pays for it at the highest market price in pro,
portion to tho amount Of alcohol which it
contains as shown by the internal revenue Of
ficer's certificate, md which averages ninety.
six cents per gallon. Wines are served in the
same way.-Boston Advertiser.

Always Tell Mother.

There is something that tugs at ones heart
in the last words of the young woman in
Sacramento who shot Patterson and then
committed suicide with morphine. After
being long i'll a stupor she rallied a moment
and said to the attendant: "Pleasc don't tell
mother" 1t was the final illumination of a
path that was ending in gloom and disgrace.
Made the victim of heartless seltlshness by
the man she had killed, and going to her final
account furnished and %forlorn, she was, after
all, the victim Of not telling mother. There
is no way Of estimating the sorrow and sin
and suffering that would be avoided if the
confidence of children continued through life
to run to their mothers. Over the grave of
this girl, dead untimely by her own hand, OH
which was the blood of another, might be in
scrlbed the epitaph: "Dicd i'll her youth, heart
broken, d%islonored, a slayer, self slain, be-
cause she would not tell mother."- San
Francisco Alta.

How Margaret Drew the Line.

Our pantry is next to our kitchen. where
Margaret received the visits of her Mickey.
One evening l e down to the pantry for
something, and while there was an involun-
tary eavesdropper on poor Margaret. She had
confided to ma only a few days before that,
shortly after Lent, we would have to look out
for a new girl, and we consequently received
Mickey with more good win than before he
declared his intentions, although we were
sorry to think We would lose Margaret. On
the evening in question Mickey was in the
kitchen, where Margaret was finishing up her
work. After the rumble of a gridiron falling
to the floor had subsidized, I heard the follow
ing dialogue:
"No, Mickey. No, you cannot"
"Ah, Maggie. dear, gf' me one kiss from
those sweet lips"
Mickey" replied Margaret, in a stern
voice, 'you must w the bow before you
claim the sugar." RECOMMEND Margaret's
views to the serious consideration Of young
ladies who are unable to decide what is the
proper conduct for engaged couples without
writing to the newspapers.-St. Louis Post
Dispatch.

Tho Society Girl.

Society is not the place in which to preach
woman's rights or temperance, and she who
should undertake to set a dinner table by the
ears, so to speak, with an expression of her
deepest convictions, would be pretty certain
to receive III second invitation. There are
those who go so far as to say that the society
girl should a no convictions but tho con.
viction of her w a%cceptability. She may
have interests, but no hobbies; at the same
time she must not be shallow. Still, the girl
who ignorantly aspires to society puts clothes
first and culture last, has more or less COIL
tempt for everything but her fallals. 1t is
manner that carries the day, and good ma
ture and kindliness, even in society-the art
OF making others happy, of amusing without
apparent effort, of being invariably sgree-
able. Moods should not belong to a society
girl if she would be a success; she must allow
herself to he bored with q smile, she must
submit to disuppointnlents with a bonmot,
for society has its price like other worldly
things.-IIarper's Bazar.

Money for the Mother.

If a man counts q woman fit to be the
mother of his children, it is little that she
should be fit to expend money for their rear
ing. If a man is gentle and soft enough to
come into tender contact with his little chill
dren he must be malleable enough to be
shaped aright in regard to the money that
they and their mother require. OF course, if
the man is over brutal N the woman over
silly there must be disaster, whether there be
one purse or twenty, or none. There may
well be women who have no sense about
money, just as there are women who do not
know how to bring up children. 1t is de-
tect OF character. Such women are a failure
in proportion to their defects, and their de-
iectve work, it cannot be denied. is evil.

Ono Sort Of Ncichbor.

There are emergencies when it seems neces-
sary to trouble u neighbor olend the lacking
convenience, but such occasions should DO as
rare as good management can make them.
A loose habit Of forgetting to keep ones
kitchen supplied favors tho practice Of rum
ming next door or across the street to borrow
q cup Of sugar, q ounce of tea, n loaf Of
bread, u cake Of soap, Or Whatever the need
may be; but such a practice stamps the mis-
tress of the house as q slovenly, improvident
housekeeper, whose careless ways stand in
strenuous need Of reform. Perhaps it is only
thoughtlessness i'll many cases that allows
such i'll management, and the fault when dis
covered will be reformed.
A kitchen slate, hung conspicuously on the
wall, with pencil attached, will be a great
factor in working a reform. Let the house,
keeper write down each article as its want is
discovered, and let her also put down such
things as she finds herself nearly out Of, not
waiting to actually see the bottom of the
barrel or box before making q note Of their
emptiness. Then teach whoever it is who
visits the store to always study the slate be-
fore going out. In this way, without much
trouble to any one, the foolish system of run
ming out to borrow will pass out of existence,
and the %neighbors with whom the friendly
exchanges have been made will in time learn
to feel backward about borrowing from those
who never borrow from them.-Good Cheer.

Abuse or the Rabv-

1t seems to me that We of middle age are
living in n pretty good time, but the babies
have the advantage of us after all. This is a
time OF transitional period, and the men and
women of thirty years hence are certain to
have the bulge on us in a different way.
When l see a woman throw her baby in the
air. making the little cuss pale with fear,
breathless, and as red and white as the
American flag, feel like breaking n COM

Journalism in Sivas.
Although Sivas is q city of some 10000 i'll
habitants, the capital of the province and
commercial center of central Asia Minor, it
has but one newspaper, and it is one only in
name. 1t is a badly printed sheet of about
twelve by fifteen inches. 1t is the official
paper in every sense, being not only the me-
dium for communicating official notices, but
ulso owned, edited and published by the local
government. 1t has 10 Geographic news, no
local news except of all official character, no
reporters and no advertisements; so it can
hardly he called n newspaper. Its publishers
have n novel way of getting subscribers.
Every government official, from the highest
to the lowest, is n subscriber; not because he
wants to be, but because he is compelled to.
There is no giving of chromos or "induce-
ments for clubs" The publishers AVE a fur
more effective way Of swelling their sub.
scription list than by any such waste
of money. 1t is n very simple way,
too. 1t simply consists in delucting from
all officials salaries, including those Of
subordinates down to the lowest clerks,

He may take the paper or leave it. But he
has to pay for it, and as there are n vast

into tho sanctum and issues the terrifying
mandate, "Stop my paper" because his name

may be; nor has he any of the other annoy
ances of dependence on tour esteemed sub
scribers," which make life a burden to editors
in less favored lands. His is indeed a happy

Under the Old Pine Tree.

The old pine tree at Dartmouth college has
been struck by lightning. There is a tradi-
ton that the Indians, the first students in the
institution, were wont to hold q meeting
around the foot Of the tree on their gradua-
ton and smoke a parting pipe of peace. The
custom has been preserved, and it is one Of
the most interesting exercises of class day to
watch the graduates smoking clay pipes
many using tobacco for the first time-and

tree and scrambling after the fragments

A striking figure on the ~thoroughfare is
Miss Middle Morgan; tall angular, dressed in
women's clothes, yet with q mans taste as to
cut and material, and wearing q smile as
kindly as her figure looks severe, she never

of the inquiry "Who is she's" The answer is

she was once master Tor mistress) of the kings
stud in Italy, and is o the best posted au-
thority on live stock in America. She is not
only interesting; she is remarkable. Those
who are SO fortunate as to know her apart
from her business speak of her as both bril-.
liant, charming and feminine to q degree,
and in her vocation-the most difficult in
some phases for woman to undertake-she
exacts admiration as we'll as respect. When
ever l hear the emptyhead argue that lovely
women would not be respected if she entered
politics, trade or certain of the professions I
always think Of Miss Morgan going day after
day, year in and year out, up to the cattle
pens by the river and out upon the stock
farms, and making the wisest men in that
line forget her sex in their admiration Of her
genius. Julian Ralph's Letter.
